Hi, I'm new to the group and just saying hello. I use RH9 on a Dell and discovered Gawk in the info files. I've been using it a little, and it's made me...
Hi, I have a problem with gawk, and I though you guys might help. Here's the situation: I have an active logfile, which receives some lines from time to time. ...
I guess I saw the same paper you did at: http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~loui/sigplan I was suprised that his students using Gawk faired better than those using C++....
When I did it like this: tail Bookmarks.html | gawk '{ print $0 > "outfile" } It worked fine. The outfile was created and the last ten bookmarks were there....
The reason is because tail, doesn't send it's output to gawk until it finishes running. When you use -f, tail reads the file, then sits at the end of it...
Try this: I made a file like this called temp 1 2 3 4 Then in one terminal I ran tail -f temp >> outfile & Then in the same terminal I ran your code without...
Actually, I made a mistake. If you type > instead of >> in tail -f temp >> outfile & (eg: tail -f temp > outfile &) The output in the first terminal matches ...
The simplest way to answer your question, is that the first statement: tail -f FILENAME | gawk '{ print $0 > "outfile"; print $0; }' the output is only on the...
Hi, AWK users! When using sprintf() to format float numbers with left padding zeroes, it doesn't work. For example, the output desired below should be "00023,...
hello Rodrigo, try $ awk 'BEGIN{ print sprintf("%05d, %06.2f", 23, 4.5) }' 00023, 004.50 the '6' in "%06.2f" is the minimum width of the outputed float. ...
After some ages, well almost 10 years, I've just spent an hour writing another short gawk script to convert a waypoints GPX file to a track GPX file. It was...
Hi All, I need a help from u.I'm getting the home directory from passwd.bak file.I need to find the disk usage of that particular user.I'm getting output if i...
Sorry about the previous wrong example. For GAWK the format is a little bit different than the AWK format. Here is the GAWK format: gawk -F":" '{if($1 == ZZ)...
Any ideas on what this is referring to or how to correct it? It seems to be related to the following: proc run {filename} { set base [file rootname $filename] ...
That particular error message (I assume you mean the one in the subject line) could mean either that gawk could not find gawk itself, or the awk program...
Albert, Thank you. You're right. The issue seemed to be that the gnuwin32 wasn't in the environment variables path. I appreciate the quick response, too. ...
Hi, can someone help me with this? i want the print command to print a double quote mark as part of a string. mawk won't have it. a double quote is a control...
Might try a Single Quote ( ' ) or a backslash-Single Quote ( \' )... if that works you could use a Double Single Quote to give the illusion of a Double Quote...
... HASTA LA VISTA ***BABY*** that was my silver bullet! i tried variants on what you wrote and finally stumbled on the solution: i did: mawk "{print $1,...
Mike... what would happen if you did a: gawk "{print 'word' }" or gawk "{print \"word\" }" (the idea being for the command line interpreter to know what double...
